brenty Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 i loved when he spiked the ball. Pure grace!!!

Buftex Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 It's a week from Saturday, actually...day before the Super Bowl You know, that is what I thought, but, unless I mis-heard, one of the ESPN heads said it was Saturday...I think you are right, though...whenever it is Andre Reed belongs there.
Homey D. Clown Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 he had the best spike in the business, and by far the biggest impact to an offense for a wide receiver the league has ever seen, save for Jerry Rice.
KRC Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 he had the best spike in the business, and by far the biggest impact to an offense for a wide receiver the league has ever seen, save for Jerry Rice. ...or that Hutson fellow, but that was before pro football began.
R. Rich Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 ...or that Hutson fellow, but that was before pro football began. He's not nearly as big as Jerry Rice and he was too slow. He'd be lucky to make an NFL squad these days, and if he did, he'd probably be moved to tight end or something.
Delete This Account Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 ...or that Hutson fellow, but that was before pro football began. ah, quit providing us with that kind of way-back-when insightful perpsective. all i wanna know is what his fantasy numbers were! jw
K-9 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 ...or that Hutson fellow, but that was before pro football began. Or that Hayes fellow, or that Berry fellow, or that Alworth fellow, etc. Kids. GO BILLS!!!
Smiley Dear Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Sorry to day this but, realistically, I think both Carter and Brown will get in this year along with Faulk and Sanders. That only leaves one more spot and I doubt they put in another receiver. It will probably be a lineman or defensive player. That leaves Reed and Sharpe as shoe-ins for 2012. It will be kind of cool to watch the Bills win the Superbowl the same weekend that they elect Andre Reed into the HoF!
Gugny Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I love Andre, and think he does belong in the Hall of Fame. It's been sad to watch him become the "Gary Carter" of the NFL, practically begging every year to get in. I think he's going to get in either this year or next, and I really hope he does. I just wish he'd gone about the wait a little differently.
KRC Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 He's not nearly as big as Jerry Rice and he was too slow. He'd be lucky to make an NFL squad these days, and if he did, he'd probably be moved to tight end or something. Yeah, you are right. My bad. ah, quit providing us with that kind of way-back-when insightful perpsective. all i wanna know is what his fantasy numbers were! jw Sorry.
Mr_Blizzard Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I would like to see it happen sooner rather than later. If he was in the league under the present rules, I'll bet he would have even better career stats. DB's could get away with a lot tighter coverage 20 years ago.
stony Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Love it! Quick points...The spike at 2:25 is a 15yder for taunting today, very bad-azz. And the call at 4:40, is that Marv Albert? I forgot he did football. Edited January 26, 2011 by stony
folz Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks for posting the videos Buftex! It was a nice trip down memory lane. Andre's Hall of Fame checklist 1. Great Player? Yes, with great stats for his era, the only WR of that era that could be mentioned in the same breath as Rice (and he was)...check 2. Innovative? Key component of the No-huddle attack and seriously one of the main reasons the league started keeping YAC stats...check 3. Superbowl? Although he never won one, he went to 4 in a row and performed well in the big games (still 2nd all time in SB receptions, 3rd all time in Superbowl receiving yds)...check 4. Misc.? 7 consecutive probowls, big part of the greatest comeback in NFL history, played in 234 games (59th most by any player in NFL history), part of the 2nd most prolific QB/WR combo in NFL history, still ranks 8th all time in receptions and 9th all time in receiving yards...check I don't care what you say about Chris Carter, Tim Brown, Art Monk, or Michael Irvin for that matter...Andre should already be in the Hall! Hopefully that will be rectified this year.
KD in CA Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 3. Superbowl? Although he never won one, he went to 4 in a row and performed well in the big games (still 2nd all time in SB receptions, 3rd all time in Superbowl receiving yds)...check Despite his stats, my enduring memories of Reed in the Super Bowl were his huge drops against the Giants and an unsportsmanlike penalty on the goal line against the Redskins. I'm not saying he shouldn't be in the HOF, but his SB performances don't exactly add to his credentials.
Chandler#81 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Despite his stats, my enduring memories of Reed in the Super Bowl were his huge drops against the Giants and an unsportsmanlike penalty on the goal line against the Redskins. I'm not saying he shouldn't be in the HOF, but his SB performances don't exactly add to his credentials. Yeah, he succumbed to Bellicheck's innovative 2-5 in the 2nd half, dropping 1 pass.. The unsportsmanlike penalty was, IMO, understood, given the clearly obvious mugging in front of the ref, who didn't have the jewels to call it at a crucial -end of half- timeframe. Only Rice has better SB stats and he was a 1st ballot HOFer Thanks for the video memories, Buftex!
